Recitativo Ahimè, [qual forza ignota Anima quelle voci!]1 Io tremo, io sento Tutto inondarmi il seno Di gelido sudor... Fuggasi... Ah quale... Qual' è la via! Chi me l'addita? Oh Dio, Che ascoltai! Che m'avvenne! Ove son io! Aria Ah l'aria d'intorno Lampeggia, sfavilla, Ondeggia, vacilla L'infido terren! Qual notte profonda D'orror mi circonda! Che larve funeste, Che smanie son queste! Che fiero spavento Mi sento nel sen!

Recitatiu: Ai, jo tremolo! Sento tot el meu pit inundar-se amb una suor gèlida! Fugir! Ai quin? Quin és el camí? Qui me’l pot indicar? Oh Déu! Què sento? Què m’arriba? Oh Déu! Què sento? On sóc? Ària: Ai, al voltant, l’aire llampegueja, espurneja; oneja, vacil•la el terreny insegur! Quina profunda nit m’envolta d’horror! Quins fantasmes funestos, quines fúries són aquestes! Quin cruel esglai sento al meu pit!
